SPICY SHRIMP FAJITAS
These shrimp fajitas are a great weeknight dish. Quick, easy, and delicious. If you prefer something milder, omit the chipotle peppers - but trust me - they really add some kick! I serve these with black or refried beans on the side. Very yummy. Serve with avocado, sour cream, and shredded Cheddar cheese if you like.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the mushrooms in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Toss mushrooms, season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, then continue to cook until tender and golden brown all over, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the leek, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until leek is just tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the corn and garlic, then continue to cook until corn is bright yellow and tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Stir in the vinegar and honey, then stir in the reserved mushrooms and toss to combine.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain the gnocchi and add to the skillet with the corn and mushroom mixture. Add the reserved cooking water and cook over low heat, stirring to coat, about 1 minute. Add the butter, 1 pat at a time, until well coated and saucy. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper and top with fresh basil.

Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cooked shrimp or chicken. You can also use a combination of both.
- If you don't have fajita seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
- Be sure to heat your skillet or grill pan over high heat before adding the shrimp. This will help to create a nice sear and prevent the shrimp from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. If you do, the shrimp will not cook evenly.
- Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque and cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough.
- Serve the fajitas immediately with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
